Why are they removing a key gameplay feature (Trinkets) while not adding any new gameplay mechanic… this will make games way less fun imo… at least add back quests, buddies, or literally ANYTHING to keep games fresh. 
I dont really care about hero rerolls tbh, 4 heroes is plenty of options for me already.
Will have to wait and see but this feels really bad as a dedicated BG player.

This can only mean one thing. The Frog is coming back. Long overdue if you ask me.
Welcome back Leapfrogger.
Wow it’s great to see that blizzard are so passionate about making money. They really have come up with innovative ways to milk their dedicated fan base for all they are worth! After the huge monetary success of Diablo mobile edition I’m not surprised they are trying to milk the players of their actual computer games.

Everyone knows that micro transactions and pay to play ruins games in the long run and is only done for short term monetary gains. For me this is a step too far with the hero rerolls as it has a direct impact on players ability to win. Very unhappy hearthstone is going down the same route as many other blizzard games.

This is what I always wanted, p2w features and a season pass +, it’s the best way to improve a game for your general player-base. Seems like a great move and totally not something made by money-grubbing suits who don’t give a damn about the actual game and its balance. /s

But…trinkets are so much fun, i recently came back to BG and thought, holy it’s so much fun with this mechanic, why would you remove it…?

Each new season brings a new mechanic to BG. It is automatically rotated out to make way for something new.
So it’s not a case of it being removed because it’s bad or unpopular.
Something new every season.

This Battlegrounds is out of this world and I am sure we will see some intense world breaking moments!
yeah lets remove Trinkets and add some paid new mechanics… i was hooked on the previous season with the trinkets, en quest… just pure fun. this is just boring. i quit
As a f2p player, I am surprise by how much I like these changes.
Please consider, however, to give us the option to choose between the cosmetics or the reroll tokens. I much rather have a shiny cosmetic than one of the tokens that will be forever forgotten afterwards. I feel like you’re doing an amazing job with battlegrounds so wanna thank you for creating my favorite game mode and doing an excellent job at keeping it fresh! I feel like all of Blizzards franchises should take inspiration from how well you manage this game mode! Hats of to you and I’m a bald man!
Ps: I’m starting to become more financially successful, however, as a former poor man, I still think your battlepass For the battlegrounds game mode is way too expensive. Maybe that’s compared to how generous it used to be and I think it’s an incredible experience but please consider making it like five euros. From a free game mode to being around 18 bucks that’s way too steep of a jump regardless of how good the game is. Best of luck to all of you and thanks again.
How out of touch are you with your game/community?
Blizzard: Yes.

Looks promissing. Quick note: in battle; When Rylak Metalhead triggers Reverber drake’s battlecry onto Tarecgosa, Tarecgosa does not keep the ‘end of turn’ enchantment (visually it is on, but it does not trigger at the end of turns). The Efficient engineer’s battlecry also fails to trigger the Tarecgosa’s end of turn effect.
It should trigger, right?
Fix this so I can be awesome. 
please go back to the previous season. Battlegrounds are terrible right now. And battle grounds are pretty much the only reason i return to this game every so often. Its going to be a quick uninstall for me if this battle ground season stays like this for over a week

Having to buy a season pass to double my chance at a good hero already stings. Now I’m being charged an extra 5 for the ability to reroll if I don’t want to be caught in a mobile nickel and dime loop of hero reroll tokens?
I HATE this reroll system. Either bake it into the core game experience or don’t have it. Giving people an option to buy even more rerolls means that a F2P player choosing from a pool of 2 heroes vs a Whale picking from a potential 8 heroes is more likely to get stomped by powerful meta picks and duo combos.
This. Is. Pay. To. Win.
And to top it off you’re handing out these tokens and pretending they’re rewards, as they replace real cosmetic rewards, when in fact they’re just lures to tempt people across that line on to the hook of microtransactions.
I love the minion rework. I hate the lack of a cool gimmick like buddies or trinkets.
This P2W nonsense might just chase me away from this game and that’s a shame because I’ve had some good times playing battlegrounds (And only that, I don’t enjoy regular HS).

Dont worry, were losing trinkets which was a really cool and unique mechanic and gaining an amazing new mechanic called pay to win, its where you pay blizzard real life money and you get a few tokens that allow you to reroll your starting hero. this is good because it means that blizzard doesnt actually have to think of anything new to add to the game to make it fun and interesting and even better they make more money!
all jokes aside, i know that blizzard clearly doesnt actually care anymore as long as they are making money, what i dont get is why they are removing mechanics that are fun and people enjoy for no reason, like just leave trinkets in for season 9 or add back quests or buddys so the game isnt just basic battlegrounds, the extra feature is the best part of battlegrounds
dont forget removing undead and elementals from the minion pools. I had a good time with the trinkets, but i guess they dont want players to return to the game and have fun. I dont understand why companies purposely sabotage their own games, just to milk the few remaining whales to the maximum until they leave. Theres more customers in general when the game is fun. But yeah no fun allowed
Well atleast the pirates are kind of hilarious. winning the game while you have 100 gold to spent on minions
Ive recently come back to bgs as well and I really want them to return the trinkets or else to make new fun features. Right now the game is bland (poorly balanced, too)
I know right? made it more pay to win with reroll tokens, removed several groups of minions. Mechs are so bad they never win anymore.
Its like they dont want people to play battlegrounds
Season 9 is absolute garbage. Blizzard is going to ruin themselves with this one.
